I know why I can't stand them - but do you? Someone (a fan of said bars) told me that it was called the 'Hipster Syndrome', in that, we hate that which we're not a part of. I can assure you this is not the case when it comes to Little Italy (Bar Rouge) and Attack-a (Attica).

They simply have no soul. They're for 'Scenesters' of the worst kind, those without one.

I'm not saying 'don't go to nice places', there are plenty of spots that include a cool vibe with an unpretentious crowd, but please...take advantage of the little loop thing being torn down and have your cab driver take you somewhere else this weekend.

It's for your own good.
